Liberal Victory and Hard Slap to Kentucky House DINOs

How can a judicial ruling on redistricting be a victory for both senate repugs and the most liberal senator in the state?

By tossing out an unconstitutional plan drawn by corrupt conservadems.

Jack Brammer at the Herald:

A judge has declared Kentucky’s newly-drawn legislative districts unconstitutional and has ordered election officials to use previous district lines in this year’s state legislative elections.

Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd on Tuesday tossed out boundaries that lawmakers approved and Gov. Steve Beshear signed into law last month. The ruling was a victory for House Republicans and Democratic state Sen. Kathy Stein of Lexington, who challenged the constitutionality of House Bill 1.

Shepherd also extended the filing deadline for legislative candidates to 4 p.m. Friday, which gives legislative leaders time to decide whether to appeal to the Kentucky Supreme Court.

The General Assembly's inability to agree on congressional redistricting means that issue is now headed to court.
